Blurb: The Angelic Business trilogy tells the story of Pink, a 17 year old girl whose ordinary life gets suddenly invaded by demons and angels telling her she is ‘the elected’ and has the future of humanity, and of Heaven and Hell, in her hands. Or perhaps she isn’t. It depends on whom she believes. Weird things start happening all around her, and her friends and family become possible victims of these paranormal beings. Is Pink the true ‘elected’? And if she is, what will she do about it?
Angelic Business. The Full Trilogy, collects the three novels in the Angelic Business YA series, and follows the story of Pink, who is the ‘elected’ to sort out the differences between Heaven and Hell. In Angelic Business 1. Pink Matters, we meet Pink, a 17-year-old girl, good student, articulate and smart. But she has never been the center of attention or reached the top ten list of the most popular and attractive girls at school. When two guys, G and Azrael, suddenly appear, claim to be angels, insist that she is, indeed, ‘special’, fight for her attention and help, and tell her she is the key to the future of the universe, she is quite cynical. But these guys can ‘do’ pretty amazing things, even miracles, so she has to do some thinking. In Angelic Business 2. Shapes of Greg, Pink discovers that demons come in all shapes and sizes, that some celestial and demonical beings can be very stubborn, and manages to save one of her closest friends, Sylvia, from a very dangerous situation, with a little help, both human and otherworldly. But she knows she has to be careful because Hell doesn’t lose gracefully and demons make no favors. Everything comes with a price tag. Angelic Business 3. Pink, Angel or Demon?, gets angels and demons really close to Pink’s home. She knows she has to make a decision before somebody decides for her. She does her best to ensure that all her friends and family will be happy, and prepares for the final battle, with some plotting and conspiring in between and even a bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
The battle between Heaven and Hell will be fought by Pink, a 17 year old girl, who refuses to believe in angels and demons. But if they dare to threaten her friends and family, they’ll really have a fight on their hands.

Blurb: The first collection of short fiction from Dan Buri, Pieces Like Pottery
is an exploration of heartbreak and redemption that announces the
arrival of a new American author. In this distinct selection of stories
marked by struggle and compassion, Pieces Like Pottery is a powerful
examination of the sorrows of life, the strength of character, the
steadfast of courage, and the resiliency of love requisite to find
redemption.
Filled with graceful insight into the human condition, each linked story presents a tale of loss and love mirroring themes from each of the five Sorrowful Mysteries. In 'Expect Dragons', James Hinri learns that his old high school teacher is dying. Wanting to tell Mr. Smith one last time how much his teaching impacted him, James drives across the country revisiting past encounters with his father's rejection and the pain of his youth. Disillusioned and losing hope, little did James know that Mr. Smith had one final lesson for him.
In 'The Gravesite', Lisa and Mike's marriage hangs in the balance after the disappearance of their only son while backpacking in Thailand. Mike thinks the authorities are right—that Chris fell to his death in a hiking accident—but Lisa has her doubts. Her son was too strong to die this young, and no one can explain to her why new posts continue to appear on her son's blog.
'Twenty-Two' looks in on the lives of a dock worker suffering from the guilt of a life not lived and a bartender making the best of each day, even though he can see clearly how his life should have been different. The two find their worlds collide when a past tragedy shockingly connects them.
A collection of nine stories, each exquisitely written and charged with merciful insight into the trials of life, Pieces Like Pottery reminds us of the sorrows we all encounter in life and the kindness we receive, oftentimes from the unlikeliest of places.

Part 1 - Kenyon
Sage Villalobos has been destined to marry Kenyon Maddux since the day she was born. As the second-born in her wolf clan, she came into this world owing a debt to the family of shape-shifting tigers who rule the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya Basin. Kenyon is the only man she’s ever wanted, the man who sets her blood on fire, but she’s tired of being indebted to his family for something she didn’t do. She wants him to choose her because he loves her, not because he owns her. When Kenyon’s brother, Nik, is taken prisoner, Kenyon turns to Sage for help. Using her unique skills, she knows she can help him free his brother, but there will be a price. If she agrees to do this, she wants Kenyon to release her from her debt. However, the only thing Kenyon wants to do is hold on to her and never let her go.

After months of captivity as part of a roadside attraction, Nik Maddux is finally able to escape. Injured and at death’s door, he makes his way through the swamp only to collapse near Juliette’s home. Juliette pulls the naked man into her cabin and begins nursing him back to health, marveling at the black stripes which cover his body and the feline features of his face. She knows he’s not quite human and realizes she may have found a kindred spirit, someone whose secrets are as deadly as her own. When Nik awakes, his attraction to Juliette is instant. While she heals his body, he wants to heal her soul. But danger is lurking in the swamp, and the longer they stay together, the more likely they are to lose everything.

Pepper learns that in 1966 a thirteen-year-old girl, Karen, drowned in
the creek. Her ten-year-old brother, Willie Hullett, was accused of
killing her. Willie, now middle-aged, lives with his mother in a cabin
in the woods. Mrs. Hullett has never forgiven Willie for killing her
beloved daughter. As Pepper secretly becomes acquainted with Willie and
sees his gentle nature and his beautiful life-like carvings, she's
convinced he did not kill his sister. With the help of her friend Ally
Cressman, Pepper sets out to prove Willie's innocence. With Ouija board
sessions, hauntings by four different ghosts, and time travel to 1939
and 1966, Pepper discovers there's more to Karen's death than she--or
anyone in Brookdale--would have ever guessed.

Blurb: Alexandra “Alex” Galloway had lifelong ambitions of acting on Broadway,
television, or in movies. Despite versatility in a wide range of
regional dialects, stunt work, singing, ballroom dancing, archery, and
field, street, and ice hockey, she has thus far been limited to an
endless string of film extra and uncredited roles.
Alex’s small part in an underdog women’s hockey team film catches the eye of a visitor to the Vancouver set while in town for a game – Troy Talmadge, star and team captain of the American Hockey Conference’s Pittsburgh Rebels.
Dazzled by her on-ice flair, Troy appoints himself as Alex’s mentor. He urges his agent to take her on as a client and signed to a Women’s Hockey League contract, but the agent has something far better in mind: having her drafted as the AHC’s first woman player, specifically to the Rebels.
Will Alex survive the pressures that accompany her newly-found professional hockey career…or does it slowly freeze much as her previous stint as an actress?

Blurb: Foreword by Sirman Celayir, Belinda's father
The years 2004 to 2006 marked an especially difficult cycle in Belinda’s life. It began with her divorce from her good-for-naught husband of several years, who had recently quit work under some pretense, whom she caught stealing money from her purse to buy drugs. As I was told, Belinda was arrested for borrowing a car from a family friend, which car was then stolen from Belinda by a supposed friend, for which she became liable and taken to jail.
While in jail, Belinda's mom, with whom she had been living, died unexpectedly of cancer, upon which her (Belinda's) son was taken away from her home and given to her ex-mother-in-law in West Virginia. After also losing her job as "vet tech," the family home her mother had purchased, for which Belinda had been paying the mortgage, was declared delinquent and was put on sale by the bank.
While trying to make sense of these sudden and cataclysmic turn of events in jail, Belinda the free spirit felt like an animal in a cage. The poetry she composed during this very difficult time in her life reflects her shock and despair at her situation, her desperate way of maintaining some composure and passing time.
The cycle began to wane when I picked her up from jail upon her release on Aug. 9, 2006 and moved her to a new condo I had just purchased for Belinda in Fernandina, Florida, where our Anne (my mother, her grandmother) was waiting for her with open arms, who had raised Belinda as much as Belinda's mother when Belinda was a child. This was eight years ago . . . Anne, who lived to age 97, passed away two months ago (on Sep. 9, 2014). Belinda has been employed since her arrival, presently living with a roommate in another apartment in this same complex, driving her own car, and is in the process of stabilizing while also having fun. She is in touch with her son (Jeremy), who is now a young adult employed in West Virginia near his other grandmother.

Blurb: Photographer, animal lover, and unfortunately for the summer, the new
girl in town, Cora Nash considers herself a simple girl. Renovating and
living at her grandmother's house seemed like a good idea, until events
took a turn for the bizarre. Garbage cans viciously torn into, howls
from the woods, wild animals behaving erratically, and an ominous
warning from the good looking bad boy, "Stay out of the forest."
This seemingly normal town hides a mysterious and violent secret. When one of the townsfolk up and disappears in the forest, leaving nothing but a pair of shoes, Cora is the only person willing to investigate. The answer, however, is nothing she could have ever anticipated, when under a full moon she finds herself face to face with a... werewolf.
If werewolves don't exist, where did it come from? And... more importantly, who could it be?

Blurb: What happens when a clandestine group of politicians and intelligence
operatives run prototype weapons through Lieutenant Peter Bank’s
jurisdiction? Nothing, they’re clandestine, no one knows they exist or
what they do... Right?
Correct, right up until one of their prototype weapons turns up at a drug bust, along with a congressman’s son who likes to moonlight as criminal elite.
The paperwork on the arrest is not finished before an army of politicos and local executive pressure comes down on Banks and his narcotics unit like a thousand year flood.

From an exclusive island off the coast of South Carolina, the mountains in the upstate, to the gutters of Charleston, SC Banks and his team will charge through mercenaries, assassins, and their own hierarchy to see justice done; and they will do it at terrible cost.
Spoilers details what happens when a determined police unit puts service and doing the right thing above themselves. It is a fast paced, intricate, and explosive read that leaves the audience exhausted and begging for more after the last page is turned.

Blurb: Darkness Never Dies ...
Ravencrest Manor has always been part of the family. The ancestral home of the Mannings, Ravencrest’s walls have been witness to generations of unimaginable scandal, horror, and depravity. Imported stone by stone from England to northern California in the early 1800s, the manor now houses widower Eric Manning, his children, and his staff. Ravencrest stands alone, holding its memories and ghosts close to its dark heart, casting long, black shadows across its grand lawns, through the surrounding forests, and over the picturesque town of Devilswood, below.
Dare to Cross the Threshold ...
Ravencrest Manor is the most beautiful thing new governess, Belinda Moorland, has ever seen, but as she learns more about its tangled past of romance and terror, she realizes that beauty has a dark side. Ravencrest is built on secrets, and its inhabitants seem to be keeping plenty of their own - from the handsome English butler, Grant Phister, to the power-mad administrator, Mrs. Heller, to Eric Manning himself, who watches her with dark, fathomless eyes. But Belinda soon realizes that the living who dwell in Ravencrest have nothing on the other inhabitants - the ones who walk the darkened halls by night … the ones who enter her dreams … the ones who are watching … and waiting …
Welcome to Ravencrest ...
Who is the man digging in the garden beyond Belinda’s bedroom window? Who - or what - is watching her from the vents? From ghostly screams and the clutching bony fingers of death in the indoor pool, to the trio of gliding nuns in the east wing who come at Belinda with black blazing eyes, to the beckoning little girl in the red dress who died more than two centuries ago, Belinda is thrust into a world of waking nightmares where there is no distinction between the living and the dead, and there are no limits to the horrors that await. Witchcraft is afoot at Ravencrest and as unspeakable terrors begin to unfold, Belinda realizes that her beautiful new home is a keeper of tragedy, a collector of souls. And it wants to add her to its collection …

Zanya Coreandero is a seventeen-year-old orphan with only a single friend and no hope for a normal life. Diagnosed with anxiety and night terrors, no one believes her cuts and bruises are a result of an evil entity, and not a brutal case of self-harm.
With the only home she’s ever known being the isolated institution—where breakfast is a handful of medications, the psychiatry sessions are mandatory, and her every move is watched—the only relief is her red-haired roommate named Tara, who’s more like a little sister than her best friend.
Free will is strong, but destiny is stronger…
When Zanya is kidnapped, she meets a group of gifted Mayan descendants, each with a unique ability. Gone from a nameless castaway to the only hope of mankind, Zanya is forced to make a grueling decision: bond with an enchanted stone and save humanity from rising underworld forces, or watch helplessly as Earth falls victim to a familiar dark deity from her dreams. This time, he’s playing for keeps.
A wicked secret hides behind a handsome face…
When Arwan, a dark-eyed timebender, takes interest in Zanya's mission, it's unclear if his intention is to help, or if he's on a hell-bent mission for revenge. Wary of falling for another guy with major secrets and a tainted past, Zanya fights to keep her distance. If only her heart gave her a choice.

humor, suspense, and a touch of the supernatural that will make the reader gasp
at times and soften their hearts at other times. Readers will recognize
someone they know in every character and heighten their awareness of a heinous
international crime.
When Claire McPherson booked Windward Cottage for
the annual reunion with three college friends her biggest concern was whether
they would like the weather-beaten, old Victorian on Cape Cod. Little did she know that would be the least
of her worries.
Claire, Jill, Caroline, and Diane are in for more
than a little R and R. Windward Cottage
has its own special powers of seduction.
After 35 years of friendship they thought they knew everything about
each other, but the old house draws confessions out of each of them revealing
secrets they never knew, and guides them unwillingly into a 50-year-old
mystery.
What was planned to be a vacation filled with fun,
food, and lots of reminiscing turns into one that will change their lives
forever. Who or what is trying to
frighten them? What is it about this
house that won’t let them go? The four women reluctantly take on a mission
that leads them beyond their wildest expectations. Only one woman’s stubborn
determination keeps them at Windward Cottage when common sense tells them to
leave. Fear, danger, and
unexplained events connect the four women to each other and to Windward
Cottage. Where do they go from
here? Can their friendships survive this
vacation? Three of them find their
futures, and one finds her past.

106. Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire by Rachael Stapleton
Blurb:
Librarian Sophia
Marcil loves reading, especially books about ancient curses and reincarnation.
But she never imagined the legend of the Purple Delhi Sapphire was true until
she inherited it and was wrenched back in time. Now having suffered deadly
consequences, she knows and fears the sapphire’s irresistible charm, but before
she can warn her boyfriend, he proposes with a ring made from the very jewel.
No sooner is it on her finger, then she once again finds herself in the body of
another, wandering the hallway of an old Victorian mansion circa 1920.
Unfortunately, her nemesis has reincarnated too. Doomed to repeat past
mistakes, Sophia struggles to prevent the deaths of those she loves, returning
to her present-day life, with a deep understanding that her killer is not far
behind.

107. Hannah: Bride of Iowa by Penny Estelle
Blurb: Hannah, Bride of Iowa is book twenty-nine in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides series.
Samuel Morrison, a farmer from Iowa, is in need of a wife and a mother for Lizzie, his three-year old daughter. He reads an article from Massachusetts advertising mail order brides. He writes to the agency stating he’s looking for a partner who will work by his side and, hopefully, come to care for him and be a loving mother to Lizzie.
Hannah Brown responds to his letter. Though she doesn’t say too much about herself, Samuel decides to take a chance and asks her to come to Iowa.
This woman is everything he wants in a wife and more -- or so he thinks. Hannah has a secret that, if revealed, could devastate their future.
If Hannah tells Samuel, will he send her away? She could lose all she’s come to cherish. Is Hannah willing to take that chance?
Rated PG/Sweet (some language, kissing, all intimacy behind closed doors)
